The Saddest Happiness lyrics

Show me round the world a few more times

But I don't think I'll find the wonders

Once you've been so down it's hard to feel the highs

Wish that I could see things through your eyes

But I'm not getting any younger

Heartache is a cloud that never leaves my skies

This melancholy reverie

It owerwhelms me so

Brings back all my memories

And never lets them go

As wistful as the mourning dove

That calls you in the night

You can feel so close to love and yet so far from light

Saddest happiness

I found a friend in you

The needle to the groove

I know the saddest happiness

I'm gonna let it fly

It's come to signify all I have left of you

I can't remember how I felt before

When colours burned so bright and vivid

Simple pleasure came from being by your side

But sorrow knocked upon my door

And now to joy I'm just a witness

I wear my solitude like a badge of pride

Rich is the man with a love to treasure

If love has flown what I have to measure?

So I'm holding on

As wistful as the mourning dove

That calls you in the night

You can feel so close to love and yet so far from light

Saddest happiness

I found a friend in you

The needle to the groove

I know the saddest happiness

I'm gonna let it fly

It's come to signify all I have left of you
